This past summer I lost my lovely Chi. After several months, I have opened my home to another dog.
Molly is another rescue.....1 yr, absolutely beautiful, loving, and too smart for her own good!
(She had been bred on first heat...delivered 3 beautiful females, full-blooded, and #4 got stuck. The "owner" did not take her to vet until 3 days later
.........she was removed from "owner", received needed vet care, recovered wonderfully and she was referred to me via a friend in rescues, who had been watching for a little female I could be in sync with. All of her daughters are now in wonderful homes, also)
Sooooo....the question... Molly takes great pleasure in chasing the barn cat off of my porches
and the cat just runs off to make her happy, returns later.
Anyway, with the weather changes I have had a few mice decide to "come on in". Now, I had caught a couple just before bringing Molly home. I removed the traps before picking her up, 3 weeks now. I had caught one in a trap that was under a piece of furniture (she couldn't get under there) just 2 days ago. She had been actively chasing the thing a day or so before and has been rather "determined" to find it/them. Last night, she was up and after one that she heard moving around. Got her calmed (put her in kennel)........and she was curled up with me on sofa about 5 AM this morning as I had my morning coffee -- quietly enjoying it, or so I thought! -- then.........
She heard the mouse! After it!!!!
Went under the couch, back & forth, then I heard it squeek from under there..........it ran out at the far end, along a wall and behind something -- Molly in HOT persuit!
It ran out and under a table -- she went under there and grabbed it OH! came out with it in her mouth and it was squeeking. I told her to "leave it", she dropped it, I grabbed it and flushed it! (1 min total time)
Are MinPins originally from ratting dogs? I know many of the "terrier" breeds are --- she's as fast as any cat I've had
But, I sure don't want her tearing things up in the chase -- or eating them!
Even with this penchant OH! I love her to death!! All 7# of her.......she's a real love bug.
